    Here is something that bugs me out, I wonder if other forum users agree, and that is the pit lane speed limits. AMS2 has car-specific pit speed limits, rather than track based. This means that pit-speed signs in-game are wrong, and one must look at the HUD icon (which itself is bugged and doesn't always have the correct number, it should also have the units attached).

    Cars have speed limits based on what the real car usually faced. So modern GT3 cars for instance have a pit speed limit of 60kmh at all tracks in the game. Conversley, the vintage touring cars have a speed limit of 100kmh, to represent there being no pit lane speed limits before 1994. This means that you can blast through the pits at monaco in the original mini, at almost full speed.

    AMS1 had a really good system of track and session based speed limits. So if you raced the Formula Ultimate at Spielberg, the limit would be 60kmh in practice and quali, and it raises to 80kmh during the race.

    I remember/imagine reading a changelog entry (back in Early Access?) stating that Reiza implemented it like this as a temporary workaround so that they could also have 100km/h in addition to 60km/h. Your suggested specification that uses a track-based limit makes much more sense, and it wouldn't surprise me if Reiza is planning to implement your suggestion further down the road!

    Ik it matters most in terms of pit strategy, but the implimentation of 'wubwub' made me notice this.
